Just when you thought spring was here in Massachusetts, you wake up to snow in April. Not the most pleasant thing to see first thing on a Spring morning (I’d prefer some warm sunshine), but what a perfect day to curl up somewhere warm and read Island of Stone! Sorry for the tactless plug, butContinue reading “Snow in April!”

Join the squad!
As mentioned in prior posts, I am diligently working on Book 1 of my Tocharian Gospels series, the Slaying of the Bull. The four-book series is going to be quite the endeavor comprised of roughly 1,500 pages of text and covering 780 years. The saga will transcend into other planes of existence and will crossContinue reading “Join the squad!”
The Bull is Charging
As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve transitioned to editing The Slaying of the Bull, and it is moving along nicely. It should be done in a few weeks and hopefully will be up on Amazon by the end of the month. It will be Book 1 in the Gospels of Mani Saga, a four-part (orContinue reading “The Bull is Charging”
Late Night Epiphany
I think that I mentioned before that my wife falls asleep almost immediately, but I have a tendency of lying awake thinking for some hours before dosing off. Well, that was certainly the case last night. Before bed, I watched some Youtube videos on Amazon eBook publishing. It is often the advice to publish multipleContinue reading “Late Night Epiphany”
Thorns and Roses
I know people are reading Island of Stone. Amazon allows us to see daily page reads through Kindle Unlimited. It is just a fraction of what’s out there, but watching that number go up each day lets me know that someone or maybe multiple people are reading the book. It’s a nice feeling. I wonder whereContinue reading “Thorns and Roses”
Stormy day
What a perfect day to write. It’s raining right now in Massachusetts with thunderstorms and high winds in the forecast! I have a lot of day-job work to do today, but I am eager to get to my writing. Yesterday, my wife made me take a break, so I did. Although I was bitter likeContinue reading “Stormy day”
Memory lane
Yesterday I started to redo the very first house project I completed when we bought our house. It was a small project of scraping and painting around our front door entranceway. It was primarily a cosmetic job, but it really helped with the curb appeal. We live near the coast, and the elements and saltContinue reading “Memory lane”
Another week of isolation down
So, it’s been a month of working from home and extreme isolation (what better time to pick up a copy of Island of Stone!). I would be remiss if I didn’t mention something about this in these posts, if anything, for posterity sake. Its been quite the experience and who knows when it will end.Continue reading “Another week of isolation down”
Sample chapters available and other updates
As some of you may have seen, I have added a new sample chapters section to the site. Here you can see the preliminary book covers for my upcoming Amazon offerings as well as a sample chapter from each. The chapters have only had a quick edit and may change a bit by the timeContinue reading “Sample chapters available and other updates”
Where did the Island come from?
Some have asked how Island of Stone came to be. My first few books were very heavy on research. For Vril, I had to delve into Nazi history and secret organizations. For the Land In-Between, it was religion and demonology. For Slaying of the Bull, it was medieval Europe, Mongolian history and culture, and theContinue reading “Where did the Island come from?”
